    The mangroves
    Patrick P.

    Great experience! Cost about 50 a piece and it was our first time paddle boarding. They are very patient and take the time to show you the ropes and get everybody comfortable before starting. We went early in the day and it was absolutely beautiful, they took us through the mangroves and saw various birds and marine wildlife that aren't afraid to get close but are very friendly. Our tour guide was great and made it a fun enjoyable experience for all and took plenty of pictures for us to remember. A must do when visiting Anna Maria island!

    A view from the front of my kayak. I recommend getting your own vs a tandem kayak.

    This adventure was fantastic! Our guide, Rick, was so knowledgeable on all the creatures big and small. From the interesting facts about the jelly fish to the oysters growing on the Mangrove roots. We even had a Comoran bird following us. Flying, diving, and swimming along side us that Rick fondly calls George! We enjoyed going into the Mangrove coves and learning about the interesting route system. Overall, it was well worth the money.

    I have done my fair share of kayaking and tours and this one might have been the best! The mangrove tour they take you on is just beautiful and so relaxing. You navigate through narrow passages through the mangroves. My guides were very kind and sure to add a good amount of facts! They also take photos of you to post on their Facebook page for you to save.

    He even allowed our 6 year old to ride in his kayak and he had endless patience with his nonstop chatter!

We had an absolutely incredible experience with C Ponies, and I can't recommend them enough--especially if you're looking for something unique, meaningful, and truly unforgettable. What makes this experience so special goes far beyond just "riding horses on the beach." These are rescue horses--many of them coming from difficult or neglectful situations--and C Ponies has created something really beautiful by giving them a second chance at life. You can feel how deeply loved and well cared for these horses are. They are healthy, happy, and genuinely seem to enjoy their work. One of the most fascinating parts was learning that the water is actually healing for them. Being in the ocean supports their joints and overall wellness, so this experience isn't just fun for us--it's beneficial for them, too. That alignment made the entire experience feel even more special and ethical. Our guide, Raina, was fantastic. She had the perfect mix of humor (yes, some delightfully corny jokes), warmth, and knowledge. More importantly, you could tell she truly loves these horses and what she does. She made everyone feel comfortable, safe, and engaged the entire time. Walking the horses into the water--and even getting to experience them swimming--was surreal. Each horse had its own personality, which made it even more fun. You could tell they were relaxed, confident, and happy to be there. It didn't feel forced or transactional--it felt like a partnership between humans and animals. Living in Sarasota, it also meant a lot to support a business that is doing such meaningful work in our own SW Florida community. C Ponies is not only creating unforgettable experiences, but they are actively rescuing, rehabilitating, and giving these horses a life filled with purpose and care. If you're on the fence--book it. It's one of those rare experiences that stays with you long after it's over.

    Absolutely exceeded our expectations! Raina was an amazing guide, full of tons of information…read moreabout the bay, history of the ponies and nuances of each pony to better assist each rider. Would highly recommend! This is an experience you'll never forget. Thanks to Raina, Coral, Dori and Snooki.
